The Brassiere Blues
I went into the store, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
To buy myself a bra, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Took a good look around, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Couldn’t believe what I saw.
The woman ahead of me, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Was a size 54DD, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Had to order her bra, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Direct from the company.
She’s got the displeasing, real teasing, tight around the chest, underwire brassiere blues.
I tried on 30 bras, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
I tried on 30 more, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
I tried on every bra, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
In that whole damn store.
The bras pinched my skin, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
The wires – they poked, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Of things more uncomfortable, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Demons never spoke.
I’ve got the displeasing, real teasing, tight around the chest, underwire brassiere blues.
Then I heard a sound, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
That made my heart ache, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
All the other women, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Shouting out, “For goodness sake!”
Not one of them fits, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
Not one is the right size, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
They were all wrong, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
The companies had lied.
We’ve got the displeasing, real teasing, tight around the chest, underwire brassiere blues.
So I couldn’t buy a bra, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
That’s where I am today, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
No real support, duhn duhn nu nuh nu,
That’s why I do say…
I’ve got the displeasing, real teasing, not wearing a damn bra brassiere blues.
